Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a bottle cap, and more particularly to a bottle cap for a beverage container. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of beverage container caps, existing caps with pivoting spouts have the following disadvantages in use: First, to allow users to smoothly drink the beverage from the container, a liquid passage and an air passage are generally provided on the cap body to maintain the internal air pressure of the beverage container relative to the external air pressure during drinking. However, in existing caps, the liquid passage on the cap body directly corresponds to the liquid passage of the waterproof gasket and is closed or opened by the pivoting spout. If an additional air passage is provided on the cap body... This requires a separate waterproof gasket with an air vent, which is fitted onto the air vent on the cover to allow it to be used with a pivoting nozzle to open or close. This not only increases the manufacturing cost of the additional waterproof gasket (e.g., mold cost) but also increases the installation cost of installing the additional waterproof gasket. Furthermore, waterproof gaskets with air vents are usually small, making them difficult to install on the air vent of the cover and relatively easy to fall off during use, especially posing a risk of being swallowed after falling off (e.g., by young children).

[0003] Therefore, there is indeed room for improvement in existing bottle caps with pivoting spouts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a bottle cap for a beverage container, comprising a cap body, a waterproof gasket, and a pivotable spout. During the pivoting process of the pivotable spout from a first pivot position to a second pivot position or vice versa, the hemispherical surface of the pivotable spout slides against the concave arc surface of the waterproof gasket. When the pivotable spout is pivoted to the second pivot position, the protrusion on the hemispherical surface is away from at least one second air vent hole of the waterproof gasket, and each of the second air vent holes enters the range of at least one concave portion on the hemispherical surface and communicates with the outside. This allows at least one first air vent hole on the cap body to communicate with the outside through each of the second air vent holes, eliminating the need for a separate waterproof gasket with air vent holes. This effectively solves the problem of high manufacturing costs and avoids accidental ingestion of the waterproof gasket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a bottle cap for a beverage container. The bottle cap includes a cap body, a waterproof gasket, and a pivotable spout. The cap body is for detachably assembling into the upper opening of a beverage container. A receiving seat is provided on the top surface of the cap body, and the receiving seat has a chamber. A first liquid passage hole is provided at a position at the bottom of the chamber, penetrating the cap body and connecting to the interior of the beverage container. At least one first air passage hole is provided at a position around the periphery of the first liquid passage hole, each of the first air passage holes penetrating the cap body and connecting to the interior of the beverage container. The waterproof gasket is fixed to the bottom of the chamber of the cap body corresponding to the first liquid passage hole. In terms of the location of the holes, the waterproof gasket is provided with a second liquid passage hole, which corresponds to the first liquid passage hole provided at the bottom of the chamber of the cover. At least one second air passage hole is provided around the second liquid passage hole, which corresponds to the first air passage hole provided at the bottom of the chamber of the cover. The top surface of the waterproof gasket is further curved inward into a concave arc surface. The pivotal suction nozzle is pivotally mounted in the chamber of the seat. The pivotal suction nozzle has a hemispherical pivot portion at its bottom, which has a hemispherical surface and an outwardly extending suction nozzle portion. The hemispherical surface corresponds to the suction nozzle portion. The hemisphere is fitted onto the concave arc surface of the waterproof gasket, and the hemisphere pivots synchronously with the pivoting nozzle from a first pivoting position to a second pivoting position. During the pivoting process of the pivoting nozzle from the first pivoting position to the second pivoting position or vice versa, the hemisphere of the pivoting nozzle slides against the concave arc surface. The nozzle portion has a drinking channel inside, with an inlet and an outlet at each end. The inlet is located on the hemisphere, and the outlet is located on the nozzle portion. The hemisphere has a protrusion and at least one concave portion, each concave portion being located at a position on the hemisphere. When the pivoting nozzle is pivoted to the second pivoting position, the hemisphere slides against the concave arc surface. In the first pivot position, the water inlet on the hemispherical surface is the second liquid passage hole away from the waterproof gasket, and the protrusion on the hemispherical surface is used to seal the second liquid passage hole of the waterproof gasket. At the same time, the protrusion is also used to seal each of the second air passage holes of the waterproof gasket. When the pivotable nozzle is pivoted to the second pivot position, the water inlet on the hemispherical surface is aligned with the second liquid passage hole of the waterproof gasket and forms a connection. At the same time, the protrusion on the hemispherical surface is away from each of the second air passage holes of the waterproof gasket, and each of the second air passage holes enters the range of each of the recesses and is connected to the outside, so that each of the first air passage holes provided on the cover can be connected to the outside through each of the second air passage holes.
